Assisted Reproductive Technology at Georgia Reproductive Specialists

Egg Donors

In some cases, it is in the woman’s best interest to use the oocyte (egg) of a donor rather than her own eggs. Our doctors can combine the donor eggs with the husband’s sperm and transfer the embryo back into the uterus.

Egg Freezing

It is our goal to improve on published protocols for egg freezing to store and preserve female fertility. With our current techniques, over 65 percent of eggs survive the freezing process.

Intracytoplastic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Couples may learn from our doctors that factors such as low sperm count and poor sperm motility are hindering their chances at conception. In these cases, our embryologists can plant sperm directly into the cytoplasm inside the body of the egg in a procedure known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Male Infertility Solutions

The doctors at Georgia Reproductive Specialists are experienced in treating various types of male infertility and may be able to retrieve sperm from the testes for use in IVF or other treatments.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) involves “washing” a semen specimen to concentrate the sperm. This makes the sperm more mobile and effective. When the woman is ready to ovulate, the concentrated sperm are injected into the uterus.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

In vitro fertilization involves the placement of sperm and egg together in optimal laboratory conditions. The resulting embryo is cultured in a special incubator and transferred to the woman’s body.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition affecting fertility and health which can be diagnosed by our doctors. Addressing PCOS by altering the balance between insulin and glucose prior to beginning an in vitro fertilization cycle can play a large role in improving fertility

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

An embryo which results from an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure may be tested for sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and other genetic abnormalities with pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).

Cryopreservation

Georgia Reproductive Specialists freezes the sperm, eggs, and embryos of our patients for treatment flexibility.

Pregnancy Loss Prevention

Our fertility specialists can pinpoint the cause of recurrent pregnancy loss to prevent future miscarriages. We work to identify abnormalities, environmental factors, and genetic problems which cause the condition.
